Hi, we have a Sony DVD recorder through which we put the aerial and from there to the TV. Our aerial is on a pole above the roof but I don't know which transmitter it points to. We are in WR4 0PG, on the northern edge of Worcester. We have been having a problem with the signal from ITV, C4 programs which occurs when the recorder is switched on - it wipes out many of the commercial channels both from the recorder and the tv which show 'no signal'. As soon as we turn the recorder off it comes back but tends to pixilate sometimes. Today it is also affecting BBC and others. We tried a hard re-set on the advice of Sony; this worked for a few days but the problems have come back. My husband is convinced it is the recorder but I'm wondering if it could be signal problems which can't cope when both machines are switched on and sharing the signal. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
